Dear Ruskoka Camp Volunteers,

Welcome spring by coming to Ruskoka for the first work weekend of the season!  Warm weather, great company, fantastic and tons of fun jobs await you!

So far, 6 counselors and 10 volunteers are planning to come. Join us for a weekend in the fresh air.

Camp registration is already half full, and we expect to be fully booked by the end of May. Counselors, if you are planning to come and help this summer, please fill in a registration form and send it in, otherwise we can’t guarantee that we will have a spot for you.

Some volunteers are planning to arrive Friday night to open up the buildings and get things running after a long winter. Please let me know if you are coming Friday evening or Saturday morning.
